I was someone who didn't have skin troubles, but for the past half a year, due to wearing masks, my skin has been completely turned upside down and I was really stressed out... I tried applying soothing essences and doing face masks, but the troubles didn't subside. But after winning this toner and using it for a week, I could visibly see the troubles calming down! I was really surprised to see the reddish blemishes going down. I was even planning to go to a dermatologist, but now I don't think I'll need to. 👍Fragrance-free and non-irritating I'm really sensitive to scents, and even a little bit of fragrance can bother me a lot. That's why I have a lot of unused cosmetics. But this one has no scent, so it's great to use. When I apply it like a face mask by soaking a cotton pad, the lack of smell is so nice because it's hard to bear if it has a scent. And with my skin troubles being so severe, even a little touch would be painful, but this product didn't sting at all. 👍Excellent absorption I usually use 3-5 toners, but this one gets absorbed completely without any residue or stickiness. The moisture level is also amazing, so using this toner and a moisturizer is enough to keep my skin well-hydrated!
ConsHmm, there really wasn't anything I was particularly disappointed with... The bottle design is also pretty, so what could I possibly be disappointed about??
TipUsing this toner as a face mask is really great!!! Try applying it as a cold toner pack, it's so refreshing!

And since cica seems to be just perfect for my skin, when I got some cuts from shaving and had some trouble spots, applying this really helped calm them down quickly.. The effects are great ㅠㅠ
ConsThe only downside would be that the price is a bit burdensome ㅠㅠ? Other than that, there's really nothing else I'm unhappy with!!
TipI think it's best to scoop it out and spread it around! I don't really like using pads, so I was trying to apply it with my hands, but since it's an essence formula, it kind of lathers up? I'm not sure what that's about, but I think scooping it out and distributing it is the way to go..

My nose area is oily, but my cheeks, chin, and forehead are extremely dry. ⭐️ Texture The texture is not completely watery like a typical toner, but has a slightly viscous, runny consistency like mucus. ⭐️ Hydration As a hydrating toner, it provides a good amount of moisture. When my skin is irritated, using this helps soothe it quickly. I would often soak a cotton pad with it and use it as a sheet mask when my skin needed extra calming. ⭐️ Fragrance The fragrance is almost non-existent, so it's suitable even for those sensitive to scents. ⭐️ Moisturizing The moisturizing level is just right, not too heavy or too light, making it great for daily use in this transitional weather. It absorbs well without leaving a sticky residue.
ConsSo far, I haven't found any downsides to using this product. It seems to be a perfect match, but if any issues come up with continued use, I'll be sure to update my review.
TipWhen my face feels very heated, I like to soak a cotton pad with this toner, chill it in the fridge, and then apply it for a refreshing, soothing effect!!

Although it's not a watery formula, but rather a viscous essence toner, it didn't feel sticky at all. In fact, it felt like my skin absorbed more moisture compared to a water-based formula, which was perfect for my dehydrated skin.
ConsThe brand was slightly unfamiliar to me, so it was a bit of a shame that I hadn't tried it before (good things should be discovered sooner!)
TipAfter cleansing, you can soak a thin cotton pad with the toner and use it as a toner pack. This will help maximize the moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits.

The scent was a fragrance-free that fully expressed 'ah, so mild'~ So it was really mild. Sometimes when I use cosmetics that don't suit me, my skin goes crazy, but when I used this product, my troubled skin was actually soothed! The effect wasn't dramatically noticeable, but my skin texture did become more refined. Since it's so mild, I think it would be great for people with sensitive skin to use!
ConsTo be honest, there really wasn't anything disappointing. During the period I used it, my blemishes calmed down and the size got better and it was good. Hmm, if I have to say one thing, the price? It felt a bit expensive.
TipIf you soak a thin cotton pad in toner and put it in the refrigerator, and then use it as a pack in the morning, it can help reduce puffiness and it's really great! In the evening, just doing a toner pack is really nice!

As a combination skin type, I was worried it might be too oily, but it's perfect for my skin during this transitional season. I didn't experience any irritation as soon as I started using it, and it's incredibly gentle. It's fragrance-free, and I can feel it absorbing into my skin immediately after application. I applied it with two light pats, and it seems to have taken care of any dryness. The ingredients are also good, and since my skin is on the sensitive side, I'm glad it didn't cause any irritation and had a soothing effect. I think this essence toner would be great to use in spring, fall, and winter. In summary, it works really well for sensitive or combination-oily skin types. I think I'll stick with this essence toner this fall and winter.
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing about it. I'm 99% satisfied!
TipOn sensitive days, I'd recommend using it as a soothing pack, and on regular days, 2-3 layers should work well.

The usage method I liked was: 1. After using the exfoliating toner to refine the skin texture, I would blot it. 2. Soaking a 5-ply cotton pad with the Basiell Cica Essence Toner and leaving it on the skin for about 10 minutes helps with soothing the skin.:) It's moisturizing and soothing, so it can be used effectively regardless of the season.
ConsThe downside is that it takes a bit longer to absorb compared to other serums or ampoules. And since I also use it as a toner pack, I wish the volume was a bit larger!
TipIt's great to use when doing a toner pack!
